Dental costs UK

The cost of dental treatment depends upon whether you receive NHS or private dental care. If you are being treated by the NHS then the costs of this fall within 3 bands with band 1 being the cheapest and band 3 the most expensive.

Band 1: £17.50

Band 2: £48.00

Band 3: £209.00

The NHS dentistry section contains a comprehensive explanation of these costs and how they are determined.

But treatments such as cosmetic procedures, e.g. veneers, are not covered by the NHS and are available at private clinics.
